The Pilgrims ate rice cereal

Over the past few weeks we have discovered Jack likes watching us eat. We'll sit him at the table in his bumbo seat and he quietly hangs out while mom and dad eat dinner. It's been great family time. Every once in awhile I'll catch him eyeing what we put in our mouths so we figured he must be interested moving beyond the bottle. What better day than Thanksgiving to start eating solids?

He had brown rice cereal just like the pilgrims. We were very happy he liked what he had although we aren't sure how much went down the hatch and how much ended up on his bib.

Jack is also at the beginning stages of teething and very much enjoys salivating on his hands. In some ways, the rice cereal has some stiff competition, but we're hopefully he'll start to enjoy it a bit more and we can move on to more fun meals.
